I got this one as a promo piece with a P4 Northwood laptop I bought back in 2001. It was quite useful at the time, being much larger than any other comparable flash drive that was available - a 256MB CF card would have set you back around $110 or so from a reputable dealer.

I don't have anything capable of reading this anymore, so whatever is on it shall remain a secret. A new 512GB flash drive from Microcenter is shown for comparison, and it was $40.

I still have a Zip disk with the only known copy of a giant piece of industrial software on it that I wrote.
Zip drive anyone? And the drivers for it?

I had one up until recently. I helped dispose of a former employer's data assets. I doubt it worked, tho.

I got a batch of disks and drives out of school auction in 2008. I sold them on craigslist for a mint for the next decade, that and FireWire stuff. I left all that when I departed the west but it was good time.
